With an oat crust and the perfect hint of pumpkin pie. These are hands-down the best pumpkin squares ever!

Give your pumpkin pie recipe a break and whip up some of these delicious pumpkin squares this fall!

You can make this pumpkin pie filling but pure pumpkin is a bit more dense and delicious. Work them into your fall treats lineup and don’t forget the Old Farmhouse Honey Cookies and Apple a Day Cocktail. All three make for a nice visit with a friend on a Saturday afternoon.

You’ll Need:

  • 1/2 cup instant oats
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup Wholesome Organic Light Brown Sugar
  • 1/2 cup of butter
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1 can of pumpkin
  • 1 12 oz can evaporated milk

  • 1/2 cup organic brown sugar

pumpkin squares-3pumpkin squares-4Directions:

  • Preheat your oven to 350 F.
  • First, combine oats, flour, brown sugar and butter in a mixer. Mix for a few minutes, until everything is crumbly.
  • Press the mixture into the base of an ungreased 13×9-inch baking pan. Bake for 15 minutes.
  • While your crust is baking, combine sugar, can of pumpkin, evaporated milk, eggs, and pumpkin pie spice in your mixer and beat for about two minutes at medium speed.
  • Once the crust is finished baking, pour your mixture on top and return to the oven to bake for another 20 minutes.
  • Meantime, chop your pecans and combine them with 1/4 cup of brown sugar. Sprinkle the pecan topping over the filling and return to the oven to bake for another 20-25 minutes.
  • Finally, cool and then cut into bars.

We like to enjoy ours with vanilla ice cream and whipped cream. I hope you love them as much as we do!

Final Notes

Once your bars have cooled completely stick the whole pan in the fridge for 30 minutes before cutting into squares. You can store the squares in an airtight container in the fridge and take them out just before serving. You can also freeze the squares in an air-tight container in layers separated by parchment paper.

First time going to Disney? We got so much great a First time going to Disney? We got so much great advice and awesome tips for how to maximize our first time at the park as a family.

➡️ The number one thing I want to pass along is to allow breathing room in your days there. Don't overplan it. Try not to be SO scheduled that you miss the magic. ✨️

Of course you want to have a general plan of the rides you want to hit, your strategy for tackling the pack, etc. but leave space so when suddenly Goofy is walking down the street and your kiddo wants a photo - you have time. 

➡️ Book your hotel and park passes ahead of time for sure. Reserve a character dinner too (we booked ours the day before and got the last spot). 

There are a lot of to-the-minute schedules you'll find out there for how to hit every ride and try all the food in record time but for a family with young kids, I don't recommend it. Just go with the flow and have fun! 🤗

➡️ Make sure to head a few reels back and see how we surprised our seven-year-old with the trip! Ask any questions below. ❤️ Like and save this post if it was helpful for you.

More Disney tips coming to my Reels feed and KariSkelton.com this week!
